[at the lounge in the sports gym; Midorima is reading an issue of Basketball Monthly]

Midorima: ………

Ootsubo: That must be a riveting read.

Midorima: Captain? Welcome back.

Ootsubo: Is that Basketball Monthly?

Midorima: They have a collection of all the back issues here, so it’s easy to reread them.

Ootsubo: Ooh, they’ve got a whole shelf of them… Then I guess I’ll read the latest issue. [flipping through the magazine] ……… Hm? Somebody wrote a letter about you in Basketball Monthly’s “FORUM”.

Midorima: Basketball Monthly’s “FORUM”… You mean the column where they publish letters from readers?

Ootsubo: Yeah. And your name pops up in one of the letters… Here, I’ll read it.

I am a fan of Midorima, a basketball player at Shuutoku High School. A few weeks ago, I saw Midorima riding in a bicycle trailer on his way to the venue for a game. Before that, I saw him riding through the city in that same bicycle trailer. Do you suppose Midorima never takes a turn pulling the bicycle trailer? I would like to see him pull it sometime.

Midorima: ………

Ootsubo: There’s only one person I can think of who could have written this letter…

Midorima: Yes, there’s only one person who comes to mind. I’m going to go tell the writer of the letter in person that I will not be pulling the bicycle trailer.

Ootsubo: And when you find him, tell him to quit screwing around in magazine columns.

Akashi: Since I’m back in Tokyo for the time being, I was taking this opportunity to familiarize myself with the area. Under different circumstances, I would’ve liked to set aside plenty of time for sightseeing. But with the tournament coming up, I decided it would be best to stay close by.

Midorima: Still, it must be difficult to get around on foot.

Akashi: Yes, it is. It takes a considerable amount of time to get from one place to another.

Takao: In that case, I’ve got a great idea.

Akashi: What might that be?

Takao: You could take our bicycle trailer for a spin. Then you could just cruise around town, easy as you please. How’s that sound?

Akashi: You’re suggesting that I could save time by riding in the bicycle trailer?

Takao: Oh, but there’s just one important rule you’ve gotta remember… We play rock-paper-scissors, and whoever loses has to pull the bicycle trailer.

Akashi: Rock-paper-scissors…?

Takao: Yeah, but that’s only if you lose, so no worries!

Midorima: You intend to make Akashi play rock-paper-scissors with us?

Takao: Heh heh! Bingo! I can never seem to beat you, Shin-chan, but I might have a chance against somebody else! Now, without further ado—let’s all play rock-paper-scissors!

– –

[on a city street; Takao is pulling both Midorima and Akashi in the bicycle trailer]

Takao: [panting] Damn it all—!! Why do I lose every freakin’ time at rock-paper-scissors?! Alright! If you look to your left, you’ll see a famous boutique cake shop—!

Akashi: I recognize the name of the shop.

Midorima: Takao, we’re losing speed.

Takao: I can’t help it! This is a hell of a lot harder with two people riding in the back!

Akashi: I’d like to have a look on the other side of the street. Would you head that way next?

Midorima: Before we do, let’s get something to drink.

Akashi: Yes, I could do with a drink myself. Stop by that vending machine, would you?

Midorima: No, that vending machine doesn’t have oshiruko. Let’s go to the one on the far side.

Takao: Is everybody from the “Generation of Miracles” this damn spoiled?!

[back in the arcade]

Akashi: That was quite enjoyable. You have my thanks.

Midorima: I agree. And it was all thanks to Takao’s excellent suggestion.

Takao: [sighs] …maybe I just suck at rock-paper-scissors…

Midorima: I wouldn’t worry about it. You simply picked the worst possible opponent.

Takao: What d’ya mean?

Midorima: I have never beaten Akashi at rock-paper-scissors.

Takao: Seriously?! You, Shin-chan?! Why didn’t you tell me that sooner?! If I’d known that, I never would’ve suggested we play rock-paper-scissors!

Akashi: Sightseeing in a bicycle trailer wasn’t half bad. Should the opportunity present itself, I’ll be taking you up on your offer again.

Hanamiya: Sure. Just keep going straight, then turn right once you reach the main road.

Woman: Okay, so I keep going straight, then take a right. Thanks so much! [rushes off]

Hanamiya: …

[Moriyama joins him]

Moriyama: I feel your pain, Hanamiya.

Hanamiya: Huh? What do you mean?

Moriyama: You tried to hit on her…and got shot down, right?

Hanamiya: “Hit on”…? I did nothing of the sort.

Moriyama: It’s hard to admit, I know. But accepting a failure is the only way to move past it! I always keep that in mind, so I can get right back in the saddle.

Hanamiya: No, that’s not what I—

Moriyama: I have to say, though, your portrayal of the “perfect gentleman” was spot on. Personality is everything when it comes to picking up girls.

Hanamiya: ……… (This is so freaking annoying… Guess I’ll try to brush him off…) …no, I really have no interest in picking up girls.

Moriyama: What? What do you mean?

Hanamiya: I’m completely focused on basketball right now. I want to lay every moment of my high school years on the line, put my best foot forward every day, and win with the rest of my team… That’s why I don’t even have time to think about love and whatnot at the moment.

Moriyama: A sincere high school guy who’s wholeheartedly devoted to basketball. He has no interest in the tangled web of romance. So your plan is to pretend to be that guy and get all the girls by playing hard to get.

Hanamiya: No…wait…

Moriyama: People become obsessed with what they can’t have… So if you pretend to be a guy who’s totally absorbed in basketball instead of love, you’ll have girls falling head over heels for you in no time!

Hanamiya: I never said anything about hitting on girls!

Moriyama: Alright, let’s you and me put this method to the test and go pick up some girls together!

wow i cant believe midorima has never won against akashi in rock-paper-scissor! lol and takao writing letter to a magazine as a fan of midorima omg i cant =)) this 3ds game sure is insane …ly interesting xD

LMAO! I’m laughing so hard especially with the first one!
The Akashi-Kuroko’s impressions were hilarious, that was a good idea of Kise! 😀
I think Kise was the best IC impression, and Midorima was not doing that bad (until he dropped the lucky item stuff). Mukkun and Aomine’s were completely OOC but totally fun to read because of that!

The second one, lol, poor Takao, he wants to get out of his chauffeur duties but he can’t. Ootsubo is hot *sigh happily*

And the third one was nice! For some reason I liked seeing Takao interact with Akashi. Akashi seems to like a lot his ride heh. Poor Takao. At least Midorima recognized he had an “excellent suggestion” 😀

“Takao: Is everybody from the “Generation of Miracles” this damn spoiled?!”

did takao even know that akashi is from rich family? and midorima’s family is quite has a status too. basically, he become a servant of “young master duo”. poor poor takao, I laughing so hard at your misery XD

BIG THANKS FOR TRANSLATING THIS!!
oh and if you have the video link of this scene, can you share it please? :3

In order to unlock the routes for the Kiseki, including Kise, you have to beat the game once following Kuroko and Kagami’s route. I don’t believe you need to max out their kizuna meters; just play through their route, recruit a team, and win the tournament at the end.
